Scott Reflex 20 Mountain Bike?

Question

I am looking at buying this bike and was wondering if anyone could tell me about this bike. I already tested it and like the feel of it very much. Where I am purchasing it the price is $699 and is a 2007 model.It has the hydraulic disk brakes and has a leightweight frame. Please tell me the pros and cons of this bike and what type of biker this suits best.

Answer 1

This is a pretty aggressive bike. If you intend to stay offroad with it, you have a pretty good choice. However, if you are going to be cruising around the neighborhood and staying mostly on roads and smooth surfaces it is way overkill.

This bike is at the very edge of being a cross country bike... not like in travelling across the country, but riding across unpaved and rough terrain. The hydraulics are overkill on this bike, and you can expect a more frequent maintenance cycle because of it.
